China's Supreme People's Court (SPC) has ruled that the names of public figures should not be used on trademarks.

In a press conference in Beijing Wednesday, the SPC released a legal interpretation of China's Trademark Law vans old skool black australia , stipulating that names of "public figures in fields such as politics, economics, culture, religion and ethnic affairs" should not be used on trademarks.

The SPC interpretation cites Article 10 of the Trademark Law, which states that using public figures' names in trademarks falls under the category of "causing adverse influence."

The article also states that signs and symbols that are "harmful to socialist morals" cannot be used in trademarks.

The interpretation comes a month after the SPC ruled that three trademarks registered by Fujian-based Qiaodan Sportswear had violated basketball legend Michael Jordan's rights.

Xu Xinming, a Beijing-based lawyer who specializes in intellectual property rights, told the Global Times that the Jordan case and the new interpretation are not necessarily related, as the SPC had previously ruled against Jordan on Article 10 of the Trademark Law.

"It's a case-to-case scenario in deciding who's considered a 'public figure' in the new interpretation. The decision rests in the hands of the Trademark Office under the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, the Trademark Appraisal Committee and eventually the courts www.oldskoolshoesaustralia.com ," Xu told the Global Times.
